🎃 School-O-Ween Success! 👻
This past weekend, our National Honor Society hosted a spook-tacular School-O-Ween event — and it was a blast! With the chilly weather outside, we brought the fun indoors to keep everyone warm and cozy. Over 200 kids came dressed in their best costumes, ready to enjoy games, treats, and Halloween magic.
From haunted classrooms to candy stations and a photo booth, the energy was incredible. Huge thanks to CRCS Clubs and Sports Teams for organizing such a fun and safe celebration for our community. #mycrcs

This initiative serves as an excellent resource for the district, so be sure to tune in as Mary explains how she aims to provide a "hand up, not a handout."

We celebrated students that fully completed their September Reading Log Challenge on Friday, October 3rd! Students enjoyed cider and donuts, decorated Halloween Bookmarks, and were given certificates and PAWS. Students were challenged to complete the bonus at the bottom of the reading log, which asked them to identify a situation where a character demonstrated Respect, which was the September Character Trait. If students completed the bonus, they were entered into a drawing to win a Six South gift certificate, and five lucky winners were chosen! We're so proud of our Junior Rebels!







Good morning!
This is the last week of our "One Book: One School: One Community" Read of Ferris, by Kate DiCamillo. This week, we will be reading Chapter 26-Coda. See below for a few discussion questions:
1. How did the mood in the dining room change (in chapters 27–29) once the chandelier was lit? How would you describe the mood before? After?
2. How do you think Ferris knew where to find Pinky?
3. What does Ferris’s mom mean, metaphorically and literally, when she says that the Wilkeys would “never pass up a ride of any sort” (page 213)?
4. Using all the clues from within the book, what time period do you believe the story takes place in?
5. Words are very important to Ferris, and she always tries to find the best one. What word would you use to describe a story like Ferris? Why did you choose that word?
As a reminder, we will be celebrating this book on Wednesday, October 15, from 5:30-7:00 p.m. in the CRE Cafeteria. Please see attached for the flier as well as a QR Code to RSVP to the event. We encourage you to RSVP to help with planning. Please let me know if you have any questions!
